Telling someone to buy BTC is easy, but if that's the only advice you're going to give someone, then maybe it's better not to say anything.

Mr Lucius, I hope you know that in the Bitcoin talk forum there are several other topics discussed and you don't expect me to mention everything in one topic, not everyone is partaking in the campaigns to Bitcoin in large or less quantity, i believe some where convinced by friends to join and get knowledge about Bitcoin but could still have doubts of investing. And there are other members that would also create awareness to them concerning what you mentioned, advising Newbies or those that still have doubts towards investing in Bitcoin is not a bad idea. Moreover I might convince people on investing and they'll also be able to learn about the risks factors involving it from other people's topics, in a school, you don't learn everything from one professor or teacher there's division of labour in teaching.

Maybe there is some sense when you wrote it this way, but I would never "push" people towards anything that entails risk. I was once in a situation where I was "guilty" of giving advice to an acquaintance to invest in BTC, and when he lost that same BTC (it was hacked), I paid for that loss because the situation happened "if you hadn't advised me that, I wouldn't lose money".

That's why I'm always careful about things like this, because this is a forum where we discuss various aspects of BTC and cryptocurrencies in general, but in my opinion, we shouldn't directly influence the financial decisions of those who read this forum.
